Sometime around August 2016, I got to the point that my knees couldn't stand my weight and I ended up spending about a week on crutches. Fast forward to 12/30 and I was 71 pounds lighter and managed to run 3 miles nonstop, on hilly terrain, in mid-30s Fahrenheit. This is the first time that I have run more than a mile straight since maybe 1996 when I was still in the US Army.
And today I ran 5 miles on the same hilly terrain, high 30s Fahrenheit, in a hair under 1:10 (it usually takes me 1:30-35 to walk that route). It's still too slow to pass an Army PT test for my age, but I feel like a million miles away from back in August when I was still on crutches.
